Initial Chartplotter Settings

The rst time you turn on the chartplotter, you must congure a series of initial settings. You must also

settings later.

Conguring the Initial Chartplotter Settings

Follow the on-screen directions to congure the initial settings.

GPS Satellite Signal Acquisition

After you turn on the chartplotter, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the current

location. When the chartplotter acquires satellite signals, the signal strength bars at the top of the Home screen

are green . When the chartplotter loses satellite signals, the green bars disappear and a ashing

question mark appears on the vehicle (boat) icon on the chart screen.

Chart Symbols

BlueChart g2 and BlueChart g2 Vision Charts use graphic symbols to denote map features, which follow the

standards for US and international charts. Some other common symbols you might see include, but are not

limited to, those shown below.

Icon Description

Current station

Information

Marine services

Tide station

Overhead photo available

Perspective photo available

Other features common to most charts include depth contour lines (with deep water represented in white),

intertidal zones, spot soundings (as depicted on the original paper chart), navigational aids and symbols, and

obstructions and cable areas.

Navigating to a Point on a Chart



CAUTION

The Auto Guidance feature of the BlueChart g2 Vision data card is based on electronic chart information. That

data does not ensure obstacle and bottom clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings and

avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may be in your path.

When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may pass over land or shallow water. Use visual

sightings and steer to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.

: The Fishing Chart is available if you use a BlueChart g2 Vision data card or a BlueChart g2 data card,

or if your built-in map supports Fishing Charts.

Guidance cannot calculate part of the Auto Guidance line. This is due to the settings for minimum safe

water depth and the minimum safe obstacle height (page 53).

7. Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles.

Panning the Navigation or Fishing Chart

You can pan away from your current location to other areas on the Navigation Chart, the Fishing Chart, or the

Radar Overlay.

: The Fishing Chart is available if you use a BlueChart g2 Vision data card or a BlueChart g2 Data

Automatic Identication System

The Automatic Identication System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels.

About AIS

AIS alerts you to area trafc. When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can show some

AIS information about other vessels that are within range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are

actively transmitting AIS information. The information reported for each vessel includes the Maritime Mobile

Service Identity (MMSI), the location, the GPS speed, the GPS heading, the time that has elapsed since the last

position of the vessel was reported, the nearest approach, and the time to the nearest approach.

➋

AIS target is activated� The target appears larger on the chart� A green line attached to

the target indicates the heading of the target� The MMSI, speed, and direction of the

transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears�

➌

AIS target is lost� A green X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost,

and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should

continue to be tracked� If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost target symbol

disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view�

➍

Dangerous AIS target in range� The target ashes while an alarm sounds and a message

banner appears� After the alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red triangle with a red

line attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the target� If the safe-zone

collision alarm is set to Off, the target ashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and

the alarm banner does not appear (page 17)� If the AIS transmission from the vessel is

lost, a message banner appears�

➎

The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of approach to a dangerous target,

and the numbers near the symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to

that target�

➏

Dangerous target is lost� A red X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is

lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should

Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS Targets

When heading and course over ground information are provided by an activated AIS target, the heading of the

target appears on a chart as a solid line attached to the AIS target symbol. A heading line does not appear on a

3D chart view.

The projected course of an activated AIS target appears as a dashed line on a chart or a 3D chart view. The

length of the projected course line is based on the value of the projected heading setting (page 16). If an

activated AIS target is not transmitting speed information, or if the vessel is not moving, a projected course

line does not appear. Changes in the speed, the course over ground, or the rate-of-turn information transmitted

by the vessel can impact the calculation of the projected course line.

When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information are provided by an activated AIS target

➊

, the

projected course

➋

of the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the rate of turn information.

The direction in which the target is turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is indicated by

the direction of the barb

➌

at the end of the heading line

➍

. The length of the barb does not change.

Turning Off AIS Reception

All AIS functionality on all charts and on all 3D chart views is disabled. This includes AIS vessel targeting

and tracking, collision alarms that result from AIS vessel targeting and tracking, and the display of

information about AIS vessels.

Showing AIS and MARPA Vessels on a Chart or on a 3D Chart View

AIS requires the use of an external AIS device and active transponder signals from other vessels. Mini

Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functionality works with radar (page 68).

You can congure how other vessels appear on a chart or on a 3D chart view. The display range and MARPA

settings congured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied only to that chart or to that 3D chart view.

The details, projected heading, and trails settings congured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied to

all charts and to all 3D chart views.

: The Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view is available if you use a BlueChart g2 Vision data card. The Fishing

chart is available if you use a BlueChart g2 Vision data card or a BlueChart g2 Data card, or if your built-in

map supports Fishing Charts.
